One option here to discharge the debt is to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy.This would allow you to discharge the debt and any others you have.You can file this yourself pro se.It is the means really to get this debt discharged and star over here.It makes sense to allow you to get this off your back here.

Here in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California you wipe out your debts and get a “Fresh Start”. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation where the trustee collects all of your assets and sells any assets which are not exempt. (see California Exemptions) The trustee sells the assets and pays you, the debtor, any amount exempted. The net proceeds of the liquidation are then distributed to your creditors with a commission taken by the trustee overseeing the distribution.
